What you tend to see first

  • Live insects when a light goes on in the kitchen at night
  • A musty, oily smell near appliances and the sink run
  • Dark specking (droppings) along skirting and inside cupboards
  • Shed skins and egg cases in warm voids behind the fridge or oven

How the barrier deals with it

  1. 01 Gel bait at the harbourages, worked back to the void — carried through the population, not just the ones you see
  2. 02 A residual deposit laid as an unbroken band across every run and entry, at the calibrated rate
  3. 03 A follow-up at the breeding cycle to close the next generation before it reaches the band
